We have a Casting Director Claire Bleasdale – right after a BAFTA win!


CASTING DIRECTOR CLAIRE BLEASDALE JOINS US

With Cannes fast approaching and the Oscars and BAFTAs recently on, we thought it was only timely to bring in a Casting Director whose short film just WON A BAFTA. Also Claire will be heading off to Cannes for the film festival the very next day, so if you’re considering attending, this is a great opportunity to hear from a busy CD who regularly attends about how to make the most of your time in Cannes.
